I overpaid for their pictures that are ok quality and would not recommend them to anyone. They were very difficult to deal with thoughout the entire process.

Those look good and if they email those just for inquiring that's great. They let you see what's available and the watermarks are understandable. I like the bottom two the most and would probably buy those if they were of my boat. Now if you order them and the actual print is of low quality that's another story but it doesn't sound like that was the issue. What would be better is if by purchasing the pic you'd get the actual digital file...

You cannot get the digital file for one picture. You have to buy the entire digital file which is $1000.

The ones you have posted still have their watermark. They will send you those for no charge to review. If you want to purchase the digital files w/o the watermark they will charge you $1000. If you plan on printing a lot of pictures it is probably ok.

Thats just it. They don't give you a way to preview before going through their hassle. It seems like their business plan is to make money off the people either too lazy to send them back or get them for fees when they are late.

Dean. Run like heII. Some time ago, I bought a few pictures, sent the rest back, didn't get all the credit, pics were waaaaay to much $. hard people to deal with. You have to buy first, pay to ship them back, loose all or some of your return credit. I won't do business with them. Helos are costly, yes, but there is better and more professional way to do this. That's just me, but.."each, their own". You decide.

I'm not going to send them any info that's for sure. Besides, I know how handsome I am already, regardless if I'm in 1 of our boats or not, just ask my lovely wife!
